If i recall correctly,( and don't accuse me of EVER usin nothing but the real deal
),
Hodgdon reccommends, even tho the pellets have a small powder charge already built in to one end of the pellets,that you are to use a 5gr charge of real powder twixt the pellet and cap/primer to ignite the pellets.
I dunno. The whole thing to me jist negates the whole aspect of muzzle loader.
T'each 'is own i 'spect.
